My First Boo Boo :(

James has become quite the risk-taker these days, crawling everywhere then trying to climb up on everything. His favorite place is the ottoman coffee table that we have. It has 4 cushions that flip to become trays, so we have 2 flipped with his toys and books in them. This is where he does his morning mission of emptying everything onto the floor! Lol! When James isn't there he's climbing on the couches, scaling the walls somehow, climbing on the dining room chairs and table legs, basically anything he can find. 

It's amazing how much he's changed in such a short period of time. About 2 months ago I used to be able to leave him to self play and he'd be in the same area when I looked back. Now he's so fast that I end up running to catch him half the time before he falls down or gets into something dangerous. 

Besides crawling and climbing, James' hands-down favorite past-time is walking. Just give him your hands and he starts running! Sometimes he's so eager that he leans his upper body forward and starts falling, lol! We have two walkers, one is made by Melissa & Doug I think this is his favorite one because as it moves the alligator's mouth moves up and down. We like it because there is rubber around the wooden wheels so it doesn't slip on our laminate floors. The other is called the 3-in-1 Learning Zebra Scooter by Vtech. This one is a walker, ride-on, and scooter. 

The reason I mention the walkers is because the wooden one was the one that drew blood today. :( James was trying to move it on his own and he had one hand on the handle and one on the floor behind it. Then he pulled it back and it crushed his little hand. I felt so bad for him because he cried so much! I quickly ran to him, picked him up, and kissed his little fingers. After some tight hugs and rocking the crying stopped until I got the antiseptic. Luckily it only last a second because once I put the band-aid on he completely forgot about everything else and was curious about this thing on his finger. It was so funny watching him wave his hand back and forth trying to get the band-aid off. After that didn't work he thought it was a snack and tried to eat it. I kept removing his hand from his mouth until he got very upset which produced the pictures below! Hope you find them as funny as I did because he was just being dramatic for not getting his way. Also please don't put band-aids on babies, that was a bad idea and I removed it before he ate it. lol!
